To ALL WHoM 1T MAY CONCE'R'N;

413e it known thatI, HENRY PEASE, of Brockport, in the county of Monroe,in the State `of' New York, have invented newand improved Reaping andMowing Maehincjand I do hereby declare that the following is n. full andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figurel is a side view of my improvement.

FigureQ` is a side view. of the ground-wheel withthe huh D removed toshow the gearingcrank-shaft, and rollers b b. l l

FigureS is n cross-section view of my improvement.

Figure 4 is a view of plate ,2vand shows the inside.

Figure 5 is an inside view of' plate 2.

Figure 6 is a. viewof the huh D detached.

Figure 7 is a view of' one of the hollow bearings 1'.

Figure 8 is a view of the grnorcd roller giving view of one of' thetworollers b b.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and constructmyinvention, I will proceed to describe it.

D- represents a cast-iron huh which is formed o1" made oi' two circularplates, 2 2", ais-shown at fig. 4 and fig. 5. Plate 2 has a rim .orprojections,`5 l, of the proper depth to receive the rimo of theground-wheel B,

when the two plates '2 and 2" are boltcl together with the bolts 5'5 55,as shown at 55. fig. 6. The huh D has' an opering or hole, R, for thepitmanfu to pass through, as shown at R, iig. 1, fig. 3, fig. 4, andfig. 5. ,The

hub D is lade to contain the gearing that gi'res motion to thecrank-shaft 40. The crank or crank-shaft 40 runs in boxes 34'and 47which are b nlted iirln to the plate 2V, as represented `at 34 and47,ig. 4. The hub D also contains the rollers b which rollers lla b arelocated in thehub D, as indicated by thc circular dotted lines 50 50, asshown at fig. 4an l Hg. 5; The hub D has t-wo projeetions,c c, tosupport the seat-board 28 by means of the bolts 25 48 is a. ehamler toreceive the hevelwheel y. as shown at iig. G and tig. 4.and fig. 2. Thehuh D has boxes 52 and 57 to receive the bevel-wheel shaft 58. The box52 has a pin-hole, as indicated by the dotted lines, as s, tig. 6,drilled to match or correspond with the groove t lin the shaft 58 forthe pin 59. The .pin 59 is for the purpose'of holding the bevel-wheelryin or out of' gear with thelbevel-pinion 41, as may be desired, and isexplained as follows: '..lhe piu 59 is passed down through the hole sand past the end of shaft 58 when it' is desired to have the bevel-wheelin gear with the pinion, 41; when out of gear the pin is passed down inthe groove t. Plate` 2 has six' holes w to receive the holts m.' Thehuh'D has arms d d running outwards and downwards to the shoe 14. The shoe14 is boltedrm to the arms d 0Z \\ith bolts 18 18. Thejointed pole 32 isbolted to the arms d by bolts'l 1G.l The ground-wheel B has a'rim, o, ofthe proper diameter and width to receive the hub D, as shown in thedrawings at fig. 8. The rim o has cogs orteethwhich 'gear iu the pinion45. The pinion is 'made fast to the-shaft 58. The rim o is made widerthan the `eogs 46, so as to form a path for the groovel 'rollers b b.The form of the rollers b is shown at b, iig. 8. The rollers b In aremade with a groove, 62, ot the proper width and dept-h to clear theteeth 46 and allow the rollers b b to tra-vel on the rim o, as' shown in,the drawings at fig. 3. I

The arrangement of the gearing that drives the pitman u is plainly shownin the drawing, as represented at iig. 2 and tig. 3, andfurtherexplained as follows: The internal gear or teeth 46 are made to drivethe pinion 45. pinion 45 gives motion to the bevel-wheel y. Thebevel-wheel y gives motion to the bevel-pinion 41.

' The bevehpinion 41 is made fast to the upper. end of crank-shaft 40.-The pitman u is fastened to the crankshaft 40 by-means of the bolt 64.This bolt 64 passes through the upper end of the pitman 'u and throughthe 'Pitman-box 65, in the usual manner. 'I p One object` of my improvedhub D is to secure the gearing in such4 a manner as to be secure fromdirt, thereby making it more durable than the common opened-gearedmachines.. Also, it is safer for the person attending the machine, asthe gearing is covered up', which is not the case with the commonmachines. With my hub D I am enabled to get the principal weight of thegearing directly on the ground-wheel B, which is very important, as itallows me to use less weight to give the ground-wheel the propertraction to drive the gearing than is comm'only employed. My improvedhub D also allows me to place my gearing and crankshaft further away orfrom the shoe 14 where the cutting apparatus is attached, as I 'amenabled to pass the pitmen u directly through 'the hub D by means of theopening or pitman-.passege R', and in such n. manner as to allow me toplace the shoe 14, pitman u, and crank-shaft 40 on a line with thecentre (crosswise) of the ground-wheel B, as plainly shown at iig.thereby I am enabled to use a long pitmnn to bring'the shoe 14 closer upto the ground-wheel B, :1li of which is very desirable,-as itv makes-t-he machine less cumbersome and allows the shoe 14 to follow theground. My improved hub D is applicable for one or tivo-Wheel machines,andmay be applied to a reaping and mowing machine with twowheels by anyexperienced mechanic. Hub D, when `used with one Wheel, enables me todispense with the ordina-ry frame, as I use the hub D to support thedrivers ,seat 26. Also to contain the gearing, and, by meansof the armsd d which are bolted firm to the hub D, to carry the shoe 14, asV shownin the drawings at tig. 1 and fig. 3, thereby decreasing expense to themanufacturer. The hubD is carried by the rollers b b which. travel enthe rim o of the ground-wheel B, and shown at fig. 3. vThe rollers b bhave hollow bcnrings'r, as shown at fig. 3. Fig. 7 shows one of thehollow bearings detached. 53 is ahole to receive a pin to secure thehollow bearing in place, v52 is an oil-hole, and shown at fig. 7. 15 isa draw-holt to support the shoe. One end is made fast to the shoe 14 undthe other end worksion the jointfbolt 17. 21 represents a strap of iron,forms the socket or slot for the jointed pole 32 to work in for thepurpose of raising or lowering the front of the shoe 14, so as'to changethe cut as desired. Anyco'mmon cutting apparatusmay `be used, and may bebolted to the shoe 14 in the ordinary manner. 20 is afoot-block for thedriver. 13 is a pin to hold the jointed pole 32 at the point desired.30,30*. are boltsto hold the seat-spring 29 irm to the seatboard 28.

My improvement also consists in the construction of the hub D in such amanner aste allow me to pass the pitman u through the ground-wheel B. Itulso consists in giving motion to the pitman u, passing through the hubD and ground-heel B, by means of gearing or bevel-wheel y, located onthe opposite side ofthe groundwheel B to that occupied by the shoe 14,as fully. explained. l

' Operation.

Motionis given to theground-wheel B. Motion is communicated to pinion45, from theinternal gear 4.6 to the bevel-wheel y, from bevetwheel g/to hevel-pinion 4l, which causes the crunk-shaft 4.0 to rotate, therebygiving the proper motion te the pitnian u. i

After haring thus described my invention, what I desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

V 1. The hub D, incombination with the pitrnnn u, crunk 40,bevel-wheely, bevel-pinion 41, rollers b I2, sei1tsupports c c, nrin or arms tl d,pitinnn-passnge R, and ground-wheel B, substantially as described andfor the purpose set forth.

2. The hub D, in combination with the arms d d, pitman u, andPitman-passage or opening R, substantially .as described and f'or thepurpose set forth.

3. The hub D, in combination with thc rollers b b, pitmnn 2t, hollowbearings 1' 1, and pitman-passage o r opening R, substantinlly asdescribed und for the purpose set forth,

4. The double or grooved rollers b b, in combination with the hub' D andtreatl-rim o and internal geur 46,V

substantially4 as described and for the purpose set forth.
